• After 35 minutes. do the 'toothpick test' Just stick a toothpick/a skewer or a thin knife into the middle of the cake gently.If you find the batter sticking to the cake then its not done. Is your toothpick is clear then your cake is done.
• Once you remove the Cake from the Oven- let it rest as it needs to set. Let the cake remain in the baking pan for atleast 15 minutes before removing
• Take a butter knife and run it around the edge of the cake so that it loosens from the pan. Then flip over the cake on a clean plate.
